Epilepsy affects around 50 million people globally. Electroencephalography (EEG) or Magnetoencephalography (MEG) based spike detection plays a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment. Manual spike identification is time-consuming and…
Sleep staging is a clinically important task for diagnosing various sleep disorders, but remains challenging to deploy at scale because it because it is both labor-intensive and time-consuming. Supervised deep learning-based approaches can…
Epilepsy is one of the most occurring neurological disease globally emerged back in 4000 BC. It is affecting around 50 million people of all ages these days. The trait of this disease is recurrent seizures. In the past few decades, the…
Automation of sleep analysis, including both macrostructural (sleep stages) and microstructural (e.g., sleep spindles) elements, promises to enable large-scale sleep studies and to reduce variance due to inter-rater incongruencies. While…
Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) monitors brain activity during sleep and is used to identify sleep disorders. In sleep medicine, clinicians interpret raw EEG signals in so-called sleep stages, which are assigned by experts to every…
Epilepsy is one of the most occurring neurological diseases. The main characteristic of this disease is a frequent seizure, which is an electrical imbalance in the brain. It is generally accompanied by shaking of body parts and even leads…
Sleep staging is essential for sleep assessment and plays a vital role as a health indicator. Many recent studies have devised various machine learning as well as deep learning architectures for sleep staging. However, two key challenges…
Objective. Sleep is a critical physiological process that plays a vital role in maintaining physical and mental health. Accurate detection of arousals and sleep stages is essential for the diagnosis of sleep disorders, as frequent and…
Closed-loop sleep modulation is an emerging research paradigm to treat sleep disorders and enhance sleep benefits. However, two major barriers hinder the widespread application of this research paradigm. First, subjects often need to be…
Epilepsy is common neurological diseases, affecting about 0.6-0.8 % of world population. Epileptic patients suffer from chronic unprovoked seizures, which can result in broad spectrum of debilitating medical and social consequences. Since…
Automated sleep staging is commonly approached as a supervised machine learning problem, with deep learning methods dominating recent research. While machine learning models achieve near-human level agreement with human-scored reference…
Sleep spindles are neurophysiological phenomena that appear to be linked to memory formation and other functions of the central nervous system, and that can be observed in electroencephalographic recordings (EEG) during sleep. Manually…
Accurate sleep stage classification is essential for understanding sleep disorders and improving overall health. This study proposes a novel three-stage approach for sleep stage classification using ECG signals, offering a more accessible…
Sleep stage classification from electroencephalogram (EEG) is significant for the rapid evaluation of sleeping patterns and quality. A novel deep learning architecture, ``DenseRTSleep-II'', is proposed for automatic sleep scoring from…
Sleep staging is fundamental for sleep assessment and disease diagnosis. Although previous attempts to classify sleep stages have achieved high classification performance, several challenges remain open: 1) How to effectively extract…
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder and for its detection, encephalography (EEG) is a commonly used clinical approach. Manual inspection of EEG brain signals is a time-consuming and laborious process, which puts heavy burden on neurologists…
Sleep apnea (SA) is a type of sleep disorder characterized by snoring and chronic sleeplessness, which can lead to serious conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure, and cardiomyopathy (enlargement of the muscle tissue of the…
Study Objectives: Polysomnography (PSG) currently serves as the benchmark for evaluating sleep disorders. Its discomfort makes long-term monitoring unfeasible, leading to bias in sleep quality assessment. Hence, less invasive,…
Accurate sleep stage classification is essential for diagnosing sleep disorders, particularly in aging populations. While traditional polysomnography (PSG) relies on electroencephalography (EEG) as the gold standard, its complexity and need…
Deep neural networks have played an important role in automatic sleep stage classification because of their strong representation and in-model feature transformation abilities. However, class imbalance and individual heterogeneity which…
